Hi there my dear blog friends, by the time you read this I will be on the road heading to CHA!! I'm so excited, it's been years since I've been able to go due to scheduling conflicts, but not this year :)
Unfortunately, I do not have a step-by-step tutorial for this project or my next two projects due to time... But I will continue with video's when I come home from CHA.
The Medallion was colored with a combination of Copic Markers, and PrismaColor Pencils. I stamped the Scrolled Vine Background Stamp on the cardfront using a VersaMark stamp pad, and added White embossing powder, then heat set with a heat gun. Add your ribbon and pearls, that's it.
I do have a couple of cards scheduled to post while I'm gone, so I will be back real soon. If possible, I will post pictures from CHA, if not I will do so when I return.

Thanks for visiting today, I should be back real soon. Linda ❤❤
Hello there. This will be a very short post because it’s 2:19 am, and I’m so tired. I love JustRite Botanical Butterflies stamp set, and couldn’t wait to make something using it. I do have a short, step-by-step video/tutorial showing you how I made this sweet butterfly card.

Hello there blog friends. Today I have a fun scrapbook page to share of Allison's son while he was sitting in a car. I've used a few of Allison's photos in the past, because of her talent. Allison's goal is to be a professional photographer, and I'm thankful she allows me to make scrapbook pages with her work. You can visit her facebook page here Photographs by Allison.
The cardstock is K&Company's Black & Ivory Paper Pad I found at Target. I used Copic Markers to color the flowers, leaves, and sky on the largest circle, then used ink pads, and sponged behind the picture with colors to make the photo pop. I find it harder to create a scrapbook page for little boy's than for little girls. As much as I love working with flowers, I never feel right putting them on pages for little boys LOL!!

I have provided a step-by-step video showing you how I created my project using the beautiful and versatile Spellbinders Nestabilities® Decorative Elements S5-090 Romantic Rectangles.
Stamp Pad: Old Paper Ranger Distress Ink – eclectic Paperie.
Misc.: Foam Tape, Self Adhesive Pearls – The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Beacon Zip Dry Paper Glue. 3D Glue Dots – eclectic Paperie. Lace – JoAnns. Pergamano Embossing Mat A5.
For my second project starting from the bottom up, I used two layers of Very Vanilla cardstock, and distressed the edges. With Spellbinders Grand Calibur®, and S5-090 Romantic Rectangles #4 die template, I cut/embossed Prima's Pixie Glen cardstock for the next layer. I made the next two layers the same as the previous ones, except I used the Romantic Rectangles #3 die. Using the Slate stamp pad, and JustRite's Kindness stamps, I stamped the image then cut/enbossed Spellbinders Labels Twenty die template, that coordinates with the image size. Now cut/emboss the Standard Circles SM, and stamp the sentiment. The two little roses were made by cutting/embossing two of the Standard Circles Nestabilities, draw a spiral circle starting from the outside edge to the center, cut on the line, and roll with a quilling tool. The final step is to place a 3D Glue Dot on the flower center, and tie your pretty bow.

Hi there. I hope all of you are doing well, as for me I'm fine, but I have absolutely no mojo... Everything I touch ends up in the trash LOL!! So today I pushed myself to do something, anything to try and get out of this slump. I would love to hear what you do to get your mojo back, believe me I will try anything LOL!
Today I made this little paper Mache' Valentine box using lovely Nestabling, new Spellbinders dies, new JustRite stamps, and a step by step video/tutorial. I will be back real soon because I'm participating in Spellbinders Blog Frenzy that's going on right now. So, until then...
Good Morning! Today I made another card using JustRite Stampers new Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two stamp Set, that coordinates with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two die template. Like the previous JustRite Stamp, this set will be released at 2012 Winter CHA.
I have a short tutorial showing you how I made this card, I felt a little out of my comfort zone for sure. But, I enjoy playing with new images, and trying different techniques. Sorry this is so short, but I'm up to my eyeballs trying to finish projects for CHA that need to get in the mail, so they will get there on time.

Hi there. Its been awhile since my last post (sorry). I'm still working on secret things for CHA, and trying to slip in other design team projects. The good thing is I will have much to share with you later in the month.
I have a short tutorial showing how I made this card, I really enjoy making these videos. Honestly, I have a real fear of typing, so I would rather make a video. It also helps me learn how to work with my computer programs, and I love that. I talk about crafting much better then I type LOL!
Don't forget that JustRite is having a retirement sale on 1 5/8″ or 2″ Original JustRite sets, some up to 75% off while supplies last, and here’s the link – JustRite Retirement Sale.

For me 2011 flew by, I can’t believe 2012 will be here in a few hours. I have wonderful family and friends that make each day memorable, and interesting to say the least. I have so much to be thankful for, and will never take that for granted.
Most of all, I want to thank each one of you for your sweet comments, continued support, and encouragement on my blog. You are the reason I keep pushing myself to the next level with my crafts, and I love sharing what I do with you.
So today while reflecting back on the good things, I went back through my 2011 posts, and picked some of my favorites projects.
I especially want to thank the following companies for all of their support, and the chance to play with their wonderful products. (In alphabetical order).
